Our MB Trip in Pictures Part 1

Day Three of Chicken Pox - on our way to Manitoba!

Rachel did SO well on the trip.  The older two did GREAT too - We were armed to the tee with new Jungle Jam story cd's, sticker books, TAG readers, and snacks....and calamine lotion, oatmeal for a bath for our stop at the hotel & benadryl.  Unfortunately we had to stay away from McD's and play areas because of our girls being contagious, but we did eat at Chilli's for supper.  (9:30 Regina time) Our kids were so wired after being in the van so long and before I could stop her, Abigail stood up and proudly showed the waitress her chest and said very loudly, "Look, I have chicken pox." 



When we left Regina, highway no.1 was still closed from the Sask border to Wpg, but as we drove, they opened up one section at a time.  There were miles of semis waiting to go.  We heard on the radio that 300 cars were abondoned because of the storm and clearing them took some time.

A few hours after our arrival, the boys left to go to a MONSTER TRUCK SHOW! Thanks to Ravi's brother, they had free seats in a booth.  Ethan's cousin was there with his dad, Grandpa and Daddy too!

Bigfoot wasn't in the show this time but Gravedigger (not pictured) was a big hit.  As expected, the boys were completely enthralled.
